Very likely canidate for spam, or some other problem causing poster. I posted his question here trying to help him. Once it was posted I have received a few replys back stating that they ALSO received this. I did research this guy and found out he is from Utah. Sadly I did respond to this email directly. Hopefully I am totally wrong on my assumption.

Just purchased a NIB Springfield XD-9 and upon returning home an hour later, wiped off the factory substance on the receiver with a soft dry cloth and unfortunately, several spots of (very thin) bluing easily came off the upper receiver.

Now, there is a silver spot or two showing where the defective bluing was and would have occured at the store had they taken a soft cloth to it to wipe fingerprints and etc... off.

Obviously, this is unacceptable!

Pistol is still unfired / untouched / left alone and in the box. Also suspect that Impact Guns is surprised and had nothing to do with the defects in factory workmanship from this nice NIB pistol delivered to them for retail delivery.

Seems that someone may have been in a big rush or used very little of the bluing compound when hastily applying it to the model I received!
